Get away from the tour bus crowds and headlights to experience a night sky few people get to see.

Travel in comfort in our private 4x4 to secluded locations for that truly special experience.

Accompanied and guided by an experienced astronomer, look through powerful binoculars and telescopes or get those wow shots with your camera (instruction available).Prices start at £300 for a group of up to 6 people. Included is; tea, coffee, hot chocolate, cold beer, water, wine and soft drinks; pastries and nibbles; a hamper of tapas; binoculars, large telescope, tripod for DSLR. The tour typically lasts 5-6 hours including transfers and normally starts off by watching the sunset from a stunning vantage point with a glass of fizz and some nibbles. We will then drive into the El Teide National Park to experience the full beauty of its famous skies. Complimentary transport in our luxury 4x4 is available for those who prefer not to make their own way up the mountain.
